Transportation
Finding Yelm is a small compact community most directly affected by two state highways which bisect
the community The two state highways are used by local residents for transportation throughout
the city and for access to commercial and residential areas throughout the community In lieu of
widening existing streets, the City has elect to create certain alternatives, Y-1, Y-2, Y-3 which will
avoid the need to significantly widen existing streets, and particularly Yelm Avenue New
developments do in fact burden the city's central streets, and unless the bypass alternatives are
accomplished, the City would have to require developers to pay the cost of the internal street
widening The city plans show and the City finds that adequate facilities will be accomplished
better and in a timely fashion by bypass facilities as a substitute for the widening of existing
facilities As a result, the City finds that the regional plans in fact benefit projects in all areas on
the City and will accomplish the goal of providing adequate facilities to City standards within a
reasonable time to serve the demands created by the proposed project.
